The Feb Prima pattern is a zip front hoody, shown either in one fabric or colour blocked.

for the £1.00 offer

The size range has changed to letters corresponding to a bigger size range (6-24) and the instructions have changed too, now having photos of the steps and more detail in the written instructions.

This is the sort of thing I do wear so would like to give it a try.

I might just pop into town, next week, to see if our one remaining shop Smith’s has it.

@Ouryve if you buy the magazine in a shop it doesn't have the pattern included and you have to order it online.
So unless you really want the rest of the magazine you could just order the pattern for £1 from the link above.

Thanks @SewRuthieSews for the link although I’ve missed out here and just bought a different hoodie pattern (cost more than a £1.00!). Nevermind perhaps we should have a hoody making encouragement thread?

I've not managed to make a successful zip front hoody.
One stretched out all down the front, another was too short and the print on the fleece wasn't as random as I'd thought so it just looked terrible.

Someone did answer that question on here, so I need to find that again!

Vezelay that looks great. What your tip for keeping the zip flat down the front?

SewRuthieSews I iron the zip first (old Craftsy tip) and always attach the zip with wondertape before I sew. With jersey I additionally use half inch knit hem tape to stabilise the inside edge but this time I decided the fleece was thick enough. My first ever zip jacket from a few years ago (now used for gardening) has a rather wavy zip, but I probably didn't take any of these measures. I must say wondertape is a magic bullet for zips in general - this cheap knock off works for me.

Although it is  £2.99 with free postage on the page i am looking at! Still a bargain and i was desperately looking for a pattern like this a couple of months ago, then ended up bodging it myself  :laughing:

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

I shall bear that zip tip in mind when I make my Stanton Hoodie. Probably won't get onto that before March, mind.

@SewRuthieSews  I did click the link and still ended up with £2.99 (doesn't like me).
I still ordered it though!  As I said £2.99 still a bargain  :thumb:

I will be making the Josie Hoody from Stylearc, my fleece fabric feels a bit thin but I’ll give it a go and see how it turns out.

SNAP! Knew I recognised that picture. The same pattern was free with Simply Sewing magazine a few years ago. I might  give it a go.  :)

Also, there’s some feedback if you look up ‘Carmen Hoodie’ on the Pattern Review website.

I see there are corrections for the Carmen pattern

https://www.gathered.how/sewing-and-quilting/sewing/simply-sewing-pattern-updates/#CARMEN

I wonder if these have been included in the Prima version or not.
